Craftster Lap Quilt Swap 5

So I've been on a short blogging break. It's been real busy here at the Quilt Dad household and I haven't had too much time to work on anything, much less blog about it. I'm trying to finish up an embroidery piece for the Hoop Up swap as well as my Doll Quilt Swap quilt, and did finish my pillow for the Pillow Talk Swap ... more on that in another post.

I did recently complete another round of the Lap Quilt Swap over on Craftster. Here's a rundown of the blocks I made for my swap partners:

Love the blocks! But I'm especially interested in the raw edge applique block - I'm assuming you used some kind of fusible web to attach the pieces, since I don't see any stitching at all. If this is how it is done, how does it hold up to use?

Gorgeous blocks! I love the double pinwheel. Believe it or not I have those same fabrics left over from my placemats and napkins (http://homemadepineapplemarshmallows.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/thing-one-and-thing-two/)-I see some spinning triangles in my scrap's future!

Love the sew-and-tell today! My favorite is the music themed block for linnybelle. I love the colors and the shapes. But all your work is very nice. I'm in awe of the curved piecing. Thanks for sharing.

I'm pretty sure I have one of your blocks from whoopdedoo5's Amy Butler quilt (not sure which lap quilt swap that was), but it's hanging on my wall at home! (http://chimesdesign.com/blog/2010/01/14/apartment-redecorating/img_1096/)

Thanks for responding to my question, John! Sorry about the reply thing - I still haven't figured it out but I will. I've used that applique technique a lot on kids' t-shirts now I'll have to try it on quilt blocks! By the way, I finished piecing your split nine-patch and it looks great!

Quick about me. My name is Parvin. I recently turned 24 and set out to accomplish 25 goals before I turn 25. One of my goals is to make a quilt out of the various t-shirts i've acquired over the years.

Hello! love your patterns! I have a question...I am going to make the "off the grid" sliced nine patch quilt from the moda blog and I can't find a honeybun in my chosen fabric...I already purchased the charm packs, so I don't really want to change fabric. I chose Tula Pink's "Plume". Anyway, would it work to use a jelly roll? I believe that it's about 1" wider than a honey bun?Please let me know what you think.-Sierrasierra.keaster@gmail.com
